Additional Information
Boost Mobile, which sports unique handsets
(though it can use Nextel handsets since Boost uses Nextel-style SIM cards),
was the first prepaid carrier to offer walkie-talkie service, and is the
only prepaid carrier with GPS easily accessible on all new phones, thus making turn-by-turn driving directions and the
like feasible. Web access, though slow due to the nature of the Nextel
network, is available at an inexpensive 20 cents per day, with some parts
accessible for free.
You can either choose their "chirp days, chat nights"
plan, which offers unlimited walkie talkie for $1 per day and airtime for 20
cents a minute, or Boost's Premium Plan, which is a unique, $50-per-month,
'hybrid' option. To further increase prepaid appeal, all night, weekend and
Mobile To Mobile minutes (to and from other Boost, Nextel or Sprint PCS subscribers)� are just 10 cents apiece. Boost of course includes many of the
common digital cellular features (caller ID, call forwarding, 3-way calling,
voicemail). Thus it makes for a good all-around prepaid for areas that have
coverage (Nextel covers 260+ million people) and such unique features as
walkie-talkie and GPS add to the appeal of one of the most aggressive
'major-league' prepaid services out there.
